He will always be remembered remem-bered for the stories he told and his morally honorable and no-nonsense approach to life that has been cherished by all who knew him. If he were to write this obituary, he might say: I was born June 4, 1927 to Bert and Florence Lindstrom and grew up in the mining town of Mammoth, Utah, out past Eureka. During WWII I enlisted in the Navy at the age of 17. After the war was over, I became a journeyman iron worker helping build part of Geneva and working on the "high iron" in many of the western states. In 1954 my brothers and I started Lindstrom Brothers Heating and later I helped my son Jeff start his own company, Professional Heating. During summers sum-mers in the early 60s I took my family to our ranch in Fruitland, Utah where my children learned to work and enjoy the outdoors. Through all the years, I've accumulated accu-mulated many stories. My family tells me that the stories get better with age. I loved learning and had a non-stop work ethic. I hope that my legacy could be described as one of hard, honest work. My children and their successes jn life bring me my greatest joy. For la time, I have to leave behind my eternal sweetheart, sweet-heart, Helen. She is my greatest friend, our romance never faded. I also have six children I'm proud of: Jeff (Lynne), Larry (Deanne), Cindy (Greg Harris), Grant (Keri), Gordon (Becky) and Craig (Anita). I have 37 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren that I will also miss. My brother Charlie and my sister Kaye Ney are also left behind for a time. Don't worry about me, I've got my parents and my brother Bert and sisters Ruth Tolich and Ida Croft here to show me around. By the time you get here, I'll have some good stories to tell you. Thanks to all our neighbors and friends over the years. I couldn't have asked for better.
